Encouragement Vision

Pat,

Don't loose sight of the word you preached at the our final crusade meeting. I didn't realize how good it was at the time, but that was some good word, brother. Just think about it; right now I hear all the stories of the sailors going to the strip bars in Singapore and how amazing these women are, or whatever. But imagine the headline, "Singapore strip clubs close due to lack of international economic stability". What if instead of the sailors stopping from port to port and preaching the word in stead of going to the bars. What if they said, "are you saved?", to the local prostitutes. The answer would probably not be, "yes", or "no". Rather, the answer would be, "what do you mean, 'saved'?" I didn't think it is possible; it is possible. God has ordained that we (primarily) abide by the laws of sowing and reaping; we sow the word of the Lord and reap the harvest as we see people come to Christ. It is possible, and we must be bold; kind yet bold. We have to have big dreams for we have a big God. Stay encouraged; and pray.
-Gus
